Definitions
- the present invention relates to an acoustic wave filter device used as, for example, an RF band-pass filter of a cellular phone, and, more particularly, to a longitudinally coupled resonator acoustic wave filter device that utilizes a boundary acoustic wave or a surface acoustic wave.
- Surface acoustic wave filter devices are widely used as an RF band-pass filter of a cellular phone, or the like.
- Patent Document 1 describes a surface acoustic wave filter device used for application of this type.
- an electrode structure schematically shown in FIG. 9 is formed on a piezoelectric substrate 502. That is, a pair of input IDTs 503 are arranged in parallel on the piezoelectric substrate 502. Output IDTs 504 are arranged respectively to the IDTs 503 in a surface acoustic wave propagating direction in which a surface acoustic wave propagates.
- Reflectors 505 are respectively arranged on both sides of the portion, at which one pair of input IDT 503 and output IDT 504 are provided, in the surface acoustic wave propagating direction. Similarly, other reflectors 505 are arranged respectively on both sides of the region, in which the other pair of input IDT 503 and output IDT 504 are provided, in the surface acoustic wave propagating direction. Then, one ends of the pair of input IDTs 503 are connected in common to an input terminal 506 and the other ends are connected to a ground. One ends of the pair of output IDTs 504 are connected in common to an output terminal 507, and the other ends are connected to a ground.
- the apodization weights are assigned in the input IDTs 503 and output IDTs 504.
- the electrode finger overlap width does not vary along both sides in the surface acoustic wave propagating direction.

- the apodization weights are assigned in the IDTs as described above, so that a higher transverse mode is reduced.
- a surface acoustic wave filter device may include narrow pitch electrode finger portions that are located at portions at which IDTs are located adjacent to each other. The interval of electrode fingers of each narrow pitch electrode finger portion is shorter than that of the remaining portion.
- the above transverse mode spurious response is not problematic. This is because the confinement effect as a waveguide is small.
- boundary acoustic wave filter devices that utilize a boundary acoustic wave have also been developed.
- the boundary acoustic wave filter devices have a problem that, in comparison with the surface acoustic wave filter devices, the confinement effect as a waveguide is large and, therefore, a spurious response due to a transverse mode tends to be large.
- a spurious response due to a transverse mode tends to be large.
